BBC request for African footage



<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>There was a message on either the ARCHIVES list or the AMIA list
this morning asking for footage of British colonial Africa; my flyin'
fangers deleted it before I remembered hey!  We do have some
footage, taken by a world traveler named Nels Thisted (grandfather
of a famous local TV personality, that's how we got it).  As follows:


{ SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1}</color>Nels and Nina Thisted Films<FontFamily><param>Times New Roman</param>
<FontFamily><param>Arial</param>A0563<FontFamily><param>Times New Roman</param>


<FontFamily><param>Arial</param>3.)  <italic>African Cruise (1950)</italic>

The reel container lists this reel as an African cruise, but states
that it goes from Israel to England.  Another label on the reel
identifies it as Mediterranean-England.  Reel contains numerous
shots of local architecture and landscape.  There is some footage
of old-style canoes.  Reel also includes footage of tourists sight-
seeing.


4.)  <italic>East Africa (1950)</italic>

Reel opens on a sign which reads, <italic>Welcome to East Africa</italic>.  Reel

includes footage of city scenes, people walking down the street,
cars driving by, a local woman performing a dance for a crowd as
well as men performing a traditional dance for a crowd of tourists.


Whomsoever posted that, if you are interested in using it, let us
know at the address/phone/email listed below.


My apologies if it was the other list!
